Teaching Philosophy 

My work with students includes preparing them for clinical work in the field, learning how to clinically think in their own unique way but within evidenced based practices, generating understanding of different clinical presentations within a systemic framework, and exploring one’s bias/history. I value immersive discussions and collaborate learning.
